fort384 said:So is a 12 hour photo period pretty standard for a reef tank? I could do something similar to Cmor and have a 2 hour ramp up period, an 8 hour max period, and 2 hour ramp down. Then I just need to figure out what the max intensity of the blues and whites should be. I really feel like I am going to cook any coral if I have these things at 100%.
I will also have my lunar synced moon lights going at night of course
Cmor, where's the best place to pickup a PO4 meter?
.025 or .026will work. Also just mix for a long time. I e heard 6 hours if using a powerhead or pump to mix and twelve hours if you just use a manual stir here and there. Mine sits for 24 hour minimum just to be sure and i use a 750 koralia to mix
So can someone clarify this for me? Do I need to treat my 5 stage RODI water with prime before adding to my ATO a/o doing water changes? I have seen it both ways. No chloramines in my tap water btw.
